November 14 Work Session

Scenery projects continue to advance all around the layout. Matt continued ballasting the R&IT mainline east from Niagara Falls through Lockport and Albion. The curve was repaired and reglued where the R&IT peels off from the CSX mainline at CP 373.

The Occidental Chemical plant saw additional work at Building 3, with the installation of earthen dams to surround the three large tanks next to the loading track. Joe Cermak continued working on the warehouse building next to the unloading tracks, completing the roof. Unloading racks were completed for Building 2.

Electrical work continues as Charles Rothbart and Dave Stavans worked on detection system installation. Both Syracause and Buffalo staging yards now have full block detection, which will work in sync with our JMRI desktop control system.
